9960 DTMF

I have one more question. How do I enable DTMF on the keypad? I have analog repeaters that take tones and since I upgraded from Moto have been racking my brain on how to and just cant figure it out.

Looked at the help file and searched DTMF...

Channel Profiles > Basic Settings, create an analog profile (if you don't have one already)
Under analog identity > Signaling Type choose DTMF.
Channel Profiles > Analog > DTMF tab > Call Dialing - enable DTMF Call Dialing. Directly under, DTMF Dialing Type should be set to FreeForm or Buffered
From the help file:

• Freeform – each tone is transmitted immediately as the radio user presses the equivalent key.
  The tone is transmitted for as long as the key is pressed.
  If this option is selected, only tones 0 to 9, * and # are available.
  The Tone Period – 0-9, A-D, Tone Period (*, #), and Intertone Gap Period are the minimum tone and gap periods that will be applied to the dialed sequence. The Lead-In Delay will be applied to any tone dialed when the radio isn't already in the transmit state. To prevent the radio keying down between dialed tones, enter an Intertone Tx Hold Time. The First Tone Period Multiplier and Lead-Out Delay don't apply.
• Buffered – the sequence is transmitted in its entirety when the Send key is pressed.
  The radio will use gap and tone periods as programmed for the DTMF system.
  If this option is selected, all DTMF tones (0 to 9, A to D, * and #) are available.
  A to D are accessed using a long press of the 2, 5, 8, and 0 keys respectively.

I have all those settings programmed and still nothing on the keypad

On the channel that you want to send the DTMF on, have you set the correct profile to match your analog profile you enabled DTMF on? Can't think of anything else, but it's been probably 15 years since I've done anything DTMF for a customer.
